Structure, governance and management
Hadleigh Baptist Church is a charity that operates under the governance of a Constitution adopted at a meeting of its members in November 2008.
This constitution governs the charitable assets of the Church from a legal perspective in accordance with the requirements of charity law. Regulations affecting the spiritual governance of the Church are contained in a separate document entitled “Rules and Regulations”.
Hadleigh Baptist Church also owns two properties, the Chapel and the Manse. These are the subjects of the following Governing Instruments:
-
Chapel – Deed of Covenant and Declaration of Trust dated 2 October 1830
-
Manse – Deed of Declaration of Trust dated 25 March 1973
The Trustees of Hadleigh Baptist Church and the Managing Trustees for the above property trusts are the Office Bearers of the Church i.e. the Pastor/s, the Elders and the Deacons. These are appointed by the Church Members’ Meeting and are listed above. New trustees are chosen from those within the existing
2
membership that possess at least one particular qualification and/or skill that is valuable to the team. e.g. Accountancy qualification, safeguarding, management, charity work, health and safety, building, ICT.
Any potential trustee is given a job description ahead of taking on the role and given opportunity to talk it through ahead of being appointed. The trustees are given regular advice and information from the network that we are affiliated too, FIEC practical services and the GBTC who are our property holding trustees to perform their role.
The Grace Baptist Trust Corporation are the current Holding Trustees of the two property trusts.
Objectives and activities
The principal objective of Hadleigh Baptist Church is the advancement of the Christian faith according to Baptist principles and in accordance with the Church’s Basis of Faith. The charity also carries out and supports other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world. Our aim is to glorify God in all that we do and our published mission statement, introduced during 2007, states that:
‘We seek to introduce people in Hadleigh, the surrounding area and beyond to the Lord Jesus Christ.’
In September 2021 we revisited our core purposes as a church and agreed the following six areas:
----- Start of picture text -----
Discipling
Evangelism
Fellowship
Worship
Community
Mission & Other
Churches
----- End of picture text -----
Encouraging, supporting, teaching and challenging one another. Becoming more and more like Jesus – all that He would want us to be. Transforming lives by the gospel.
Equipped and confident to share the gospel openly and sensitively. Looking to make disciples, not just church attenders.
Being a unique, distinctive people who are devoted to one another; where everyone is truly equal and no-one need ever feel alone. Sharing life as well as the gospel. Committed to praying with and for one another. A level of commitment to one another that can’t be found anywhere else.
Our love of God and all that He has done for us overflowing into praise, with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. Being devoted to prayer, because it is God who brings the growth. Sharing the Lord’s Supper together as a way of worshipping Him and giving thanks.
Generous to anyone in need. Known for kindness. Making a difference in our local community and beyond. A light to the world because people see our good deeds. Looking after others in their distress.
Recognising that we are part of God’s one worldwide church. Passionate in any areas in which we can work in partnership with other churches. Committed to mission in our giving and our prayers. Praying regularly, passionately and compellingly that God might bless the work of others and grow them.

Achievements and performance
Owing to the spiritual nature of the Church’s principal objective, it is always difficult to quantify exactly what the Church has achieved during the year. The impact of the COVID19 pandemic continued to curtail some of our original plans. However, we were still able to serve the town of Hadleigh and beyond throughout 2021.
The following information attempts to paint a fuller picture of the life of the Church over the past year.
Serving the local and wider community
Despite national lockdowns etc an Easter treasure hunt took place, with Easter eggs and outreach resources being delivered to the many families who joined in the fun. Our Winter Wonderland event was reintroduced with large numbers of families taking part over the course of the day. All were invited to the various Christmas services which followed.
The Church continues to actively inform and engage with the community through adverts in the Hadleigh Community News and our comprehensive web site and various social media sites, e.g. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Our Pastor has a regular opportunity to be involved in local school assemblies. He is a Foundation Governor in St Mary’s Primary School, Hadleigh.
We have a wide range of lettings throughout the week, including a Children’s Centre. As well as providing activities for old and young alike these provide us with the opportunity to welcome people into the building and have contact with people who do not currently attend any church.
Children and Young people
4
The baby and toddler group called ‘The Ark’ that began in January 2016 was re-launched following the lifting of covid restrictions. It remains hugely popular with young mums (and dads) and is regularly oversubscribed.
Junior Church (Sunday School) for those aged 3 – 11 years restarted following the lifting of covid restrictions and grew in number in the latter part of 2021.
Our premises
In order to provide high quality online services during lockdown we invested in improved IT, sound, lighting and video equipment. We believe this contributed to the large number of subscribers to our church on YouTube as well as providing the means for our more vulnerable members to worship via ‘zoom’. The church made it’s facilities available free of charge to host an online conference run by kinetic network in May 2021.
Teaching and building up of God’s people
Throughout 2021 we continued to hold a service each Sunday morning. Whenever possible we met in person, whilst maintaining the ‘zoom’ option for those who chose to use it. Our on-line community increased with regular subscribers across the UK and beyond.
Five small groups have met for prayer, study and fellowship, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings by a variety of means as restrictions allowed. These have attracted an average attendance of 40+. These groups continue to lead to new friendships within the Church and provide the opportunity for more support and care for each other and our neighbours. We supplemented these groups with occasional midweek prayer/communion services on zoom. Sadly, our regular church residential weekend away at Sizewell Hall was not possible.
A pastoral care team continued to support people according to identified needs. A ‘Prayer Circle’ also exists to enable prayer needs to be met at any time and has been used extensively throughout the year with many answers to prayer.
A church member, whose mentored placement was at our church, completed his three-year Bible College degree in the summer. He subsequently secured a position as assistant pastor in a Suffolk Baptist Church.
We continued in 2021 the pattern of focussing our local, national and international charitable support to four main ministries. This enables us to be prayerfully focussed and informed in partnership with these ministries.
Five new members joined the church in 2021. In addition a number of new families have regularly attended worship.
Financial Review
The financial statement for the year ended 31 December 2021 and the report from the Independent Examiner can be found later in this document. It has been another extremely encouraging year financially, considering the potential impact of the pandemic with gross income of £125,640. All commitments to our
5
General Fund have been met on time. Our end of year balance of £29,027 compared to an opening balance of £12,474. We have invested in upgrading IT etc as outlined above. We have also improved lighting in many parts of the church building, including the installation of motion sensors to improve our energy footprint.
Once again, we gave financial, practical and prayerful support to Christian based organisations and individuals, both in the UK and abroad. In 2021 £21,557 of our gross income was given to such organisations and individuals. This is comfortably above our tithing policy i.e. to give at least 10% in this way.
We continue to ‘….. walk by faith, not by sight’ (2 Corinthians 5:7) and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ to provide finances to match the work He has commissioned us to undertake.
Brief statement of policy on reserves
We seek to keep the month end reserves at a minimum of between £8,000 and £10,000 to facilitate cash flow and to be in a position to cover unplanned/emergency expenditure.
Public Benefit
The trustees have considered the guidance produced by the Charity Commission on the provision of public benefit and they confirm that public benefit has been provided by:
-
Providing regular public worship open to all
-
Promoting the whole mission of the Church through activities for individuals, parents and toddlers, and special needs groups
-
Conducting pastoral work including visiting the sick in their homes where appropriate and in hospital and the bereaved
-
Teaching Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups
-
Providing a baby and toddler group in the community
-
Supporting in part the theological training of a male member
-
Supporting other charities in the UK and overseas
-
Providing a free Christmas Winter Wonderland event for the community
-
Offering support to local families and /organisations throughout the pandemic
-
Providing a ‘drop in’ facility for anyone at our Church offices
